May play a role in sensing the chemical composition of the gastrointestinal content. The activity of this receptor may stimulate alpha gustducin, mediate PLC-beta-2 activation and lead to the gating of TRPM5. |TAS2R| |taste receptor activity| |bitter taste receptor activity| |detection of chemical stimulus involved in sensory perception of bitter taste| |sensory perception of bitter taste| |detection of chemical stimulus involved in sensory perception of taste| |sensory perception of taste| |detection of chemical stimulus involved in sensory perception| |detection of chemical stimulus| |sensory perception of chemical stimulus| |detection of stimulus involved in sensory perception| |detection of stimulus| |G protein-coupled receptor activity| |sensory perception| |G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway| |nervous system process| |system process| \\ === CRISPR Data === No hits were found.
